Letters: Some ideas to make elections tolerable

The election is over. We need to make changes to make it more tolerable in two years and four years when an open presidential seat will be filled. We should establish a do-not-call list for political calls, where people could opt out of receiving calls by calling a toll-free number.

The combined campaigns spent $1.5 billion on advertising. There have been several suggestions on how to better spend that money - pay down the debt, or apply it to health care, Medicare and Social Security. Let's limit the influence of money and reduce the amount allowed to be spent.

We should conduct a national telethon to pay down the debt, and make it a yearly event. Stars can entertain, contributors can get access to the president and other political leaders, and everyone can get in a drawing for prizes.
